Public procurement law is a necessary component of the single market because it attempts to regulate the public markets of Member States and represents a key priority for the European Union. This Research Handbook makes a major contribution to the understanding of the current EU public procurement regime, its interface with the law of the internal market and the pivotal role that this will play in the delivery of the European 2020 Growth Strategy. Led by Christopher Bovis, a team of internationally acclaimed expert contributors provide comprehensive analysis of the law, jurisprudence and regulation of public procurement in the EU. Coverage is organised into five thematic parts exploring public procurement regulation; strategic procurement; justiciability in public procurement; public procurement and competition; and public procurement and public service.

Offering invaluable, contemporary insights, the Research Handbook on EU Public Procurement Law is both detailed and accessible, making it an indispensable resource for researchers, academics, policy makers, regulators and judges at national and international levels. Its wealth of detail and practical assessment will also appeal to current and future generations of procurement practitioners across the European Union.
